2016 Frozen fingers guidlelines and ENTIRE SCHEDULE!

2016 frozen fingers charity series SCHEDULE IS FINAL

Tournament Directors: Contact NEO if any issues with any of the goals of the series (shelter, food, clear tees, etc). Local clubs rule the roost! We just try to create consistent "standards" to differentiate the series' "brand" from average ice bowls.

We are tracking 5 divisions this year, up from 4 last year and 3 in previous years, as demand dictates (3 per division? TD to make call): Open, Adv Am, Int Am, Women (general), and Masters (general).

Unless prior arrangements have been made, the entry fee will be $20 per person regardless of division. $10 will go to that day’s event (an increase from past), $8 will go to the charity (NEODGA to distribute funds to NEO disc golf projects, usually at annual spring meeting), and $2 will go to the series payouts of approximately the top 1/3 of “series participants” (played in more than one event in that division) at the final event in Hudson on March 26th.

Events are pot luck, guided by the host club- but participation is encouraged by us travelers too! NEODGA has access to a generator and building wrap for electricity and securing the shelter as needed. If significant snow, best practices in the past include clearing the tee pads (we can often help with shovels and salt if needed) and blazing a central path- tee to basket, basket to next tee- with a snow mobile when available (NEODGA does NOT have a snow mobile). Contact me if any of these areas are going to be a difficulty so we can increase support!

There is a rolling ace fund

The top 5 finishes in events you play in will go to your series total, with 100 points for first place in each division, 98 for second, 96 for third and so on. The final event is weighted 50% more. That leaves room for you to either miss an event or play out of division in an event without hurting your chances in your “main” division.

The first event is doubles, one general division for all for the day. But when you register, each player on every team registers in their series division, and the points earned that day in doubles will be transferred to your standings in your division. Teams can be of the same division, or mixed divisions from the series point of view.
